And the only way to keep herself out of that impending mess is to remain in power. Philippine Daily Inquirer's columnist Neal Cruz, in his column yesterday, thought the same:
So why doesn’t she step down? Because it may mean imprisonment. Because she may lose all the wealth she has accumulated. It would mean humiliation.
She knows that when she is no longer president, she will lose her immunity from suit. And considering her many grievous sins to the nation, she knows that she will be swamped with lawsuits once she is out of power. From president to jailbird—that is not acceptable. She has to avoid that at all costs.
